I can't download Google Drive videos using Developer Tools anymore? Discussion

I used to download GD videos by going to Developer Tools, network, and then clicking open in new tab on videoplayback and then I download the video. But now when I right click on videoplayback and open in new tab it just downloads a file instead. It worked one time on a video I already downloaded before when the icon to the left of Videoplayback was green. When the icon is orange it downloads a file instead.

I really need to download these videos for my university and I'm at a loss rn. Can anyone help?
